Could also have been b12 or iron.

You're right about meal planning. I also think that if you're going to cut out an entire food group you should phase it out. You eat food every single day. You have to find something that works long term for you.

A key thing is that some folks have boring "meat and potatoes" taste, with no interest in moving beyond that. My parents are old-timers living in the Irish countryside. When I was growing up in the early 80s, you couldn't get one-tenth the stuff I now eat a daily basis. I became a vegetarian by first developing a love for cooking (especially Indian). When you have a wide range of tastes, and the supermarkets stock everything you need, it's easy to find alternative to meat. Otherwise, it takes a long time to expand your tastes and learn what to actually do with ingredients. My mother walks around the supermarket at the weekend, and still picks up the same old things she used to get in the 80s. She wouldn't know what to do with 90% of the herbs and spices on my shelf. So asking her to cut out the one tasty part of her daily meal is pointless, not to mention unhealthy (she would have low b12 and iron).

If I were a meat eater planning to go vegetarian I would avoid cold turkey (not a pun). Phase it out. Maybe start with the biggest greenhouse emitters (cow), or the most intelligent (pig). Maybe give up fowl and fish last. Rather than see it as a limitation, start by learning how to cook one new meal every week that is nutritious, tasty and also meat free. Also, if someone else is doing all the hard work (ie: you're in a restaurant or ordering delivery) use that as an opportunity to try different things that don't have meat. Indian food is great for this because it's not just "meat and potatoes without the meat" or their vegetarian food is amazing. But you might need to develop a taste for it.

For some people it might take a year, but if you think about it as expanding your tastes, perhaps it won't feel like a chore, and you won't feel like you've given up anything (especially now that you can fall back on the decent meatless burgers/sausage you can get nowadays).
2FA adds more value than that - it’s meant to be about “something you know and something you have” (in theory, physically). That way, even if your password is compromised three something like a data breach, you’re still protected.
Having used the “local errno” solution, I feel you’re overstating the downsides a great deal.
I was also disappointed that this isn't included in the browsers given that it was designed to be very simple to parse and compile. So I tried as an exercise to build such a compiler[0] and indeed it was much easier than I expected (with a few shortcuts of course, being a POC). It is just 5kb gzipped and it compiles to binary most of the WAT code out there and also quite fast, just a few ms. That said, I think writing WAT by hand is only helpful for very small critical hot code, anything more complex and IMO you need an abstraction of some sort.

These are new developments. Like the sibling comment mentioned, state funding dried up after the turn of the millennium.

In addition, college is much, much more expensive as a whole, thus saddling these kids with debt that they foolishly take on because everyone kind of tells them they should go in debt for the prestige and opportunity. Last I read, the average student leaves school with $30,000 in student loans.
At a quick glance, it looks like OCaml-without-objects (or labels, or polymorphic variants, or GADTs), with better printing. In my books, that's a pretty sweet spot to be:

- stronger typing than TypeScript/AssemblyScript, while being similarly flexible;

- simpler and more gc-ed than Rust.

Of course, no ecosystem yet afaict.

Next time I start a project that targets wasm, I'll definitely look at Grain.
How is the article not that? Wade is a life long journalist, now independent, who has done extraordinary research, and who had relied heavily on research done by other independents as well, which is itself based strongly on credible micro-biology. Wade is nonetheless careful not to exaggerate his case but point out the mere balance of probabilities.

I'm not sure you can get more credible or independent than his work.
Easy2Boot is another good one. Creates USB boot disks with multiple OS ISOs on and boot into any of them. It’s no longer being updated, but still works, just used it this week.

https://www.easy2boot.com/

The only caveat is you need to make sure each ISO is stored on the USB in a contiguous file, since it tricks the host machine into thinking each ISO is separate partition. It includes a .cmd script for doing this on Windows, or on Linux you can use `rsync —preallocate` to copy the ISOs continuously.

Definitely true! But if there's a good question then that's definitely doable.

Also I noted your change of field; your github repos and starred repos that pop up on my github main page are much more interesting that the usual r/stata repos

Thanks agains for the contributions, GIS and carto are definitely a super fun and useful field with a greater bang-for-the-buck than most economic papers!

Gee, thanks for the virtue signalling - like HN needs more of that.

It's not a good summary since it doesn't mention what underlies most of those links:

- the destruction of the nuclear family

- the effects on school children from the above

- companies can't hire people who don't graduate from even high school.

Detroit has had a black city council for decades, and those links equally apply there. Same with many other US cities.

Any black leader will tell you the real problems start with families, and no amount of PC talk will solve that. In fact, they've warned other communities that statistics about single-parent households show the same problems headed their way.

Rewriting history with the 1619 project is a stark example of evading solving actual problems.

Trump supporters idolize elites almost exclusively. From Trump, to CEOs, to Giuliani, to Tucker Carlson, to Bill Barr, to Bill O'Reilly, to Ted Cruz, to Josh Hawley. This is not a movement that happens to have a single elite as the head, it is a movement by elites.

> Yes, Trump is an elite. However, he was still able to present himself as being against the elites, especially because he doesn't move in the same social circles as those elites.

That's just untrue.

Trump loves to play up how he is a business person. He loves to play up his successes. He loves to point out how much money he has. He loves to point at all of his houses. He loves to point out how many rich people he knows. He loves to point out how below him other people are. He loves to point out how he moves in those elite circles!

Have you watched a Trump rally? It's in large part about how awesome and elite he is. As long as people follow this simple story of the Trump movement being anti-elite, they will keep drawing the wrong conclusions about what to do.

The movement is not anti-elite, literally, no one gives a damn that Cruz or Hawley have fancy degrees. It's anti-fact. Trump supporters don't like reality as it is and Trump came out directly to sell them a totally different version of reality that they like a lot more (slavery wasn't all that bad, white people are being oppressed, global warming isn't happening, you never need to switch jobs, etc.). It has nothing to do with elites, it's a basic denial of reality, just as fundamental as flat earth.

"We were compromised. Rotate your passwords, chop off your finger and change your face."

Biometric measurements are fuzzy, by their nature. This in turn means that for every stored biometric identifier, there is a whole range of inputs / input signals that will match. On top of that, the measurement devices are on untrusted systems.

If you can compromise the device and extract the signal sent from the sensor, you should have a near universal replay payload. Right now that is still an espionage realm threat, but as these methods become more universal, mass attacks against large populations become more and more appealing.

Archives of valid (username, password) tuples are already sold on underground markets. It's not much of a stretch to predict that (username, biometric sensor dump) archives will eventually become a commodity too.
Depends of the volume. Cows don't just drink, eat, and return lovely fertilizer. The huge amount of urine and manure some cow ranches produce is dangerous to the environment around them, and to the ranchers, so their waste actually needs to be removed and processed.
There were probably 1000s of protests/riots last year in the USA alone. I don't think all the others were spontaneous and this one was orchestrated by a mastermind using cryptic language to wake up his sleeping warriors.
> If Covid turns out to be a lab escape (which is a big if), the nation or lab it happened in is just the proximate cause. Deeper responsibility would lie with the institutions and individuals that pushed it despite the risks.

That's the rational response. The fact that it can be played for political gain means it will be played for political gain, regardless of how rational it is.

Look at the whole mask debacle of the last year. If we assume people can and do act rationally, then both sides wouldn't have played it up as much and made it a defining issue or lied about portions of it, but instead we had both people and organizations/parties using it to rally their base (on both sides) and an authority that decided to use half-truths to trick people into doing what they thought they should do given the resources available at the time (to put it kindly).

That's the reality of the world we lived in for the last 12 months, and I see no reason to assume it's all of a sudden different. I'm not sure that means we shouldn't know, but let's be real clear on what the the likely outcome is if it's found to have escaped from some lab in China, regardless of who funded what or who was working on it, and that's that it would be a complete and utter shit show for the West and China, and possibly the entire world.

> Some of them go as far as to apply for a masters program. Where else does a budding CS major with no technical skills but a lot of meaningless accolades go?

You’re just being needlessly smug here. The point of life isn’t to be as technically useful to FAANG as possible. I know lots of people who go on to masters programs because they’re curious about advanced topics in CS (e.g. robotics) that you don’t get to touch on in undergrad. Many are good engineers, but I’m not going to decry the ones who aren’t. For some people, it’s just not their thing, and that’s ok too.

After having worked many years with OCaml and a few years with Rust, I prefer the latter's approach of requiring types in function declarations (or equivalently requiring a .mli in OCaml). This makes browsing in code much faster and removes sources of incomprehension.

Also, even if it was an accidental release by china the situation the world finds itself in is at least as much the US' (and much of the rest of its sphere of influence's) fault for the extremely poorly coordinated response to the situation last year. China at least did something about its domestic spread.

The US is a major global center of trade and travel, and in the end, much of the spread around the world is because there was basically no attempt to stop it from spreading through there.

It is still very early in data collection for mRNA vaccines. This paper notes previous results from H1N flu vaccines:

> Among pregnancy-specific conditions reported to the VAERS after Covid-19 vaccination, miscarriage was the most common. This is similar to what was observed during the influenza A (H1N1) pandemic in 2009 after the introduction of the 2009 H1N1 inactivated influenza vaccine, where miscarriage was the most common adverse event reported by pregnant persons who received that vaccine.

For H1N1, a CDC study showed 7 times greater odds of miscarriage in the 28 days after receiving a flu vaccine, for women who had received an H1N1 vaccine in the previous flu season. Association of spontaneous abortion with receipt of inactivated influenza vaccine containing H1N1pdm09 in 2010-11 and 2011-12, https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28917295/

> Among women who received pH1N1-containing vaccine in the previous influenza season, the aOR in the 1-28days was 7.7 (95% CI 2.2-27.3) .. SAB was associated with influenza vaccination in the preceding 28days. The association was significant only among women vaccinated in the previous influenza season with pH1N1-containing vaccine.

If Mighty behaves like a full replacement for a modern web browser on my system, it will have to give the web pages I visit (opt-in) access to my GPS, camera, microphone, Bluetooth, battery information, and other peripherals, I sliding all of my mouse and keyboard input. It will have to allow me to upload or download files from the web page. Also, all my tabs are running on the same remote VM, so this only protects other systems, not my banking or JIRA.

Sure, it's the ultimate sandbox for the code itself, it probably protects me perfectly from Meltdown attacks against other programs on my main system, but I don't think that's enough to call it 'endpoint security'.
If you encourage someone to believe that they don't have the power to keep themselves from being a victim, generally speaking, that's a good way to turn them into a victim.

Better approach: teach people to recognize and use the power they have to avoid becoming a victim when they encounter a potential victimizer.
I lived in the rural Palouse growing up. That region is responsible for producing a lot of the lentils, dry peas, chickpeas, et al in the US. There is a wide range of local cuisine in that region based on those ingredients that is absurdly delicious that I’ve never seen anywhere else. There are a lot of recipes online but they are materially different. There are distant analogues of some of it (e.g. falafel or some Indian cuisine) but it is pretty different from that. This was home food on the farms.

The thing to understand about legumes is that some of them, with appropriate preparation, can constructively absorb prodigious quantities of salt and fat. For example, you can fry lentils, which are delicious on their own (I think these are eaten in the Middle East), but that can be a prep step for further processing. Many people make cakes or patties, often pan frying them. Addictive as hell and salty, and you can’t eat a lot of it, but it tastes amazing and various forms are sometimes used as a meat alternative e.g. with eggs for breakfast.

The caveat, which I’ve learned the hard way, is that there is quite a bit of non-obvious knowledge on how to process the legumes for these dishes, and it has multiple stages. Texture and consistency control, as well as the interplay of oil and water, is not trivial. Lentils are the most complicated but also the most interesting, but the multiple processing steps are more work than is convenient. I left when I was a kid, so I’ve spent a lot of time trying to figure it out by trial and error. When I travel back there, local restaurants still serve these kinds of things. I could basically eat this stuff every day and never miss meat. They also make some interesting sauce/gravy type preparations from legumes, which are similar to things I’ve had in Germany (probably adapted, the population there is ethnically German).

They have variants of all these things based on lentils, chickpeas, and dry (split) peas, which are pretty different in practice.

I’ve also done a fair amount of work adapting classic Indian vegetarian food concepts to completely different European food contexts and use cases. These creations have been immensely popular; my prodigiously carnivorous friends request them.

These are all examples to show that when we are given a technology that allows us to access any point in a high-dimensional space of possibilities, humans will explore it starting from what they already know.

There are probably points in food space much better than what we have already, but it's going to take us a while to find them.

Engineering the Apocolypse
"In this nearly 4-hour SPECIAL EPISODE, Rob Reid delivers a 100-minute monologue (broken up into 4 segments, and interleaved with discussions with Sam) about the looming danger of a man-made pandemic, caused by an artificially-modified pathogen. The risk of this occurring is far higher and nearer-term than almost anyone realizes.

Rob explains the science and motivations that could produce such a catastrophe and explores the steps that society must start taking today to prevent it. These measures are concrete, affordable, and scientifically fascinating—and almost all of them are applicable to future, natural pandemics as well. So if we take most of them, the odds of a future Covid-like outbreak would plummet—a priceless collateral benefit. "

I agree. `crop_to_cat(img)` now has to be concerned with handling a possibly invalid image even though this method doesn't make sense for an invalid image.
It muddies the type signature of the method and instead of `Image -> Image` (or possibly `Image -> Either Image Error`) it has to read `Either Image Error -> Either Image Error`.

What if I want to apply that method to a valid image?
I either need to wrap the image or provide different overloads of the method which can get quite tedious if the number of possibly "fallible" parameters grows.

>It's true that if a black person gives up without trying because they assume they can't succeed then their failure contributes to the inequality between the races.

Not really my point. But what you're saying is legitimate too. Though who are we to judge, considering we don't even have unambiguous language to discuss the subject without risking to offend each other's sensibilities.

>I was most concerned about pushing back on the notion that this subject should be taboo because somehow discussing systemic racism is the real cause of inequality.

I'm not sure if I can resolve the nesting of those clauses. IMHO, taboos are generally counterproductive because avoiding the taboo gives it more power. And enforcing a particular language, tone, or other mode of discourse about race relations can be used to perpetuate thinking that reinforces racism "in the name of fighting racism".

This whole thing is starting to look more and more like we need to find out if we're even capable of discussing systemic racism without freaking out, so we can try to conclusively establish what systemic racism is, so that we can look for a solution to systemic racism, so that we can finally stop cops from shooting civilians for being the "wrong" color. This yak shaving is truly the work of a higher intellect...

I only dabble in graphics - but generallly simple edge detection needs really uniform tonality and no textures in the input to work well. Look for example in the more "sketchy" examples how the linework that "looks right" is extracted from a quite noisy input. Also, in the top example where there are houses, the contrast difference that gets extracted to linework is lower than in the character areas.

So, the flat shaded images with explicit black outlines - yes, it's likely there is much difference with edge detection. But when the image has lots of different contrasts and tonalities this looks much more impressive.
