Fresh pasta vs store bought? Worlds of difference. When I lived in Europe the quality of produce and dairy blew me away compared to what we were eating in America. Tons of flavor in fresh natural produce.
> And the previous election was heavily influenced by a foreign government using American social media networks to influence.

Heavily influenced is a massive overstatement. Russia spent less money on US election influence than most individual mega-churches.
Thanks for the feedback, we'll be improving our onboarding process soon with additional verification methods.
Yes, but who will pay for that? More burden on maintainers -> less maintainers -> more burden on maintainers.
I think gp means by aberration, "it's not something that most people have to worry about". Which is true. If even 10% of Americans had to deal with this it would become illegal. The police prey on those they think they can get away with, and those who have a lot of assets to forfeit (but not too much). They
are often right.
When I read "extreme crimes", I don't think of a scuffle with the cops over what started as a misdemeanor arrest or non-criminal enforcement action. Protonmail should change their wording to be clear that governments can and do compel them to collect such information for ordinary crimes.
Interestingly, Hong Kong residents appear to have a high meat-consumption rate. However they also walk far more than Westerners. Vegetable consumption may be higher as well.
Let me pose a pair of questions that might make this easier to understand:

-Is the US government currently involved in ethnic cleansing?

-Is China currently involved in ethnic cleansing?

What's sad about following local law?

It's right there in the first paragraph: they didn't cooperate with French authorities, but were ordered by Swiss police to assist.
Of course trust in media is low.

Look at this thread describing all the politically-motivated media spinners caught in a blatant lie.

I would beg to differ about email reliability, also see https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc5321#section-6.1 but do agree that everything could get lost for some reason.

But that is not the main point. Even if the email was lost somewhere in Office 365, people were already pointing out to Atlassian that they should really send a follow up on Aug 27:

I have occasionally seen products along these lines that actually are what they claim to be. They never seem to stick around for long.

The problem with making a consumer product that isn't primarily designed to sell is, you tend not to sell very much of it. When it comes to convenience foods - and anything ready-to-eat in a Mylar wrapper is, almost by definition, a convenience food - what most people want to buy is junk food. Not out of some moral failing, I don't think, so much as that, when you're going for convenience foods, you just happen to be working with a part of your brain that's hard-wired to crave junk food. So we tend to go for junk food, and, even when that's not what we think we want, it's ridiculously easy to be taken in by junk food whose Mylar wrapper loudly proclaims that it's actually healthy food.

From there, it's just the law of the jungle. Products that sell better get the shelf space, products that don't sell as well don't. That determines who gets the shelf space, and therefore who gets to survive as a company.

I've also seen this play out at a macro scale in the rise of Whole Foods Market. They devote every bit as much of their shelf space to convenience foods as any other supermarket. Between that and their distressingly ironic name, it's hard for me to feel surprised that I've seen them out-compete a great many beloved stores that were more genuinely focused on selling whole foods over the past quarter century.
Thank you for making such a kind comment!

No need to calm things down or thread needles, since I am rather stoic. You wanted interaction rather than downvotes, I gave you exactly that, so no need to complain about it being exhausting either.

The downvotes may have come from individuals who also think it would be helpful if you treated yourself and others as individuals rather than avatars of their racial collective. Your opinions are your opinions, there is nothing black or white about your opinion (in terms of skin color at least) or anyone else's opinions. There are white people that think like you, and there are black people that think unlike you.

Having a certain skin color doesn't make your opinion more valid or more worthy of being listened to either, even if you are in a demographic minority. For your opinion to be valid it has to have merit, so you have to back it up with good arguments that can convince a reasonable person. There's no racial cheat code we can/should insert into public discourse to bypass rational evaluation. That would be the bigotry of low expectations (you can't argue effectively for your case because of your identity, so we're gonna accept your conclusion because of your identity).

Shifting from the indefensible: "my opinions are absolutely related to my skin color and that's precisely why you all need to pay special attention to them" to the much milder and very different: "[it's] plausible that the lack of black folks in tech today is leading to unintended negative consequences", and glossing that over as "maybe I didn't quite say this in the exact way that won't set people off the first time", rather than admitting you were racially stereotyping yourself and (at least implicitly) other individuals is poor form. That's not a clarification, but a different argument. I think it's high time white leftists and leftist blacks confront their own racism, cuz that's the only form of socially acceptable racism that currently exists in the west.

Having said that, I think there's not much interesting about the hypothetical you raised. Changing the demographic composition of any group of people is almost certainly gonna change the distribution of opinions on the spectrum on any given topic, but that does not mean we are getting closer to truth. In the end, all that should matter is the facts and the arguments. That's why slavery and segregation were abolished at a time when blacks were vastly outnumbered in the population and in politics.

We don't need population level representation of blacks in tech (though it may be beneficial) to hold big tech accountable and achieve meaningful change, we just have to make the argument and raise awareness and reasonable people of all races will join in your cause if your argument has merit. Let's get back to MLK's ideal of color blindness, because those who are teaching us to see color are teaching us to hate each other.
One thing about processed foods is that they're usually based on refined grains, i.e. preprocessed carbs. Your body sucks up these carbs too quickly, resulting in insulin resistance and pancreatic failure.

Look down the aisles of a store. If it's in a box, or a bag, it's probably based on processed carbs.

Disclosure: Biased diabetic who has struggled with management, and now "strictly" (with the best of intentions) limits processed carbs. Bread of any kind, especially. Toss the hamburger bun, for example. And it's worked, with help from meds.
This happens now anyway, except currently people are priced out by an increasing cost of goods and services and then forced to leave the area entirely. The idea/hope/whatever behind LVT is that it would force redevelopment into more density, allowing more people to live in valuable areas while keeping cost of living flat and manageable. Density is the end-goal of LVT proponents.

I admit I don’t have a lot of attachment to a given plot of land, and understand some people place more value on that. But it’s also pretty selfish for one person/family to claim a plot in a productive market to the exclusion of ten others by standing in the way of densification. It’s a question of singular good vs that of the collective, and there is no right answer there at which point I guess it’s agree to disagree?
I so wish that at least when a manufacturer stops supporting hardware, he has to drop source code of drivers and the firmware in the public domain.
> If you peer deeper, you’ll generally find this: The vaccinated remain substantially protected against serious illness or death, but the unvaccinated are entering the hospital and dying at very high rates indeed, as if to compensate .... If this is just Delta being more dangerous, then we would expect countries with lower vaccination rates to be enduring truly staggering mortality right now, but they are not. In heavily vaccinated countries, Delta is raging with a rare fury among the unvaccinated, but in lesser-vaccinated countries it is doing nothing unusual. This means that the efficacy statistics are broadly unreliable. The exact reasons don’t really matter: Either the vaccines have the power to change the whole picture, or they don’t.
I thought about starting my own TikTok page dedicated to programming so I recorded one about why I still prefer C++ over Rust. While I got decent views for the subject matter, I got roasted by 12-year-olds in the comments section. The top one implied the real reason I preferred C++ was because I’m a boomer, and it was apparently written by someone who likes to upload Roblox music videos. My page has since been made private.

I can take toxic Reddit, HN, and even Twitter comments, and while I found the whole situation hilarious there’s something frightening about opening my whole identity for hordes of anonymous people to judge. There’s a power imbalance that doesn’t seem to bother a subset of Gen Z or the general population who continue uploading content there.
Ah I really enjoyed this interview, thanks for sharing.
I know at least one place where they do allow ssh as a last resort, but the VMs that gets ssh'd to get flagged to be recycled automatically.

So you can log in and debug, but once you're done, the VM is replaced with a clean one.
I can't tell that to those patients because what you're describing is a fantasy created by anti-vaxxers to justify their position.

Literally the most basic principle of medical research is that giving patients (even millions of them) a drug and watching them improve means absolutely nothing about the effectiveness of the drug.

You can only learn if it works with large-scale, double-blind studies, and all of those show that ivermectin does nothing for Covid outcomes.
Nope, it really isn't.

Go read about what "whataboutism" is and where it came from. It is a rhetorical technique where you deflect criticism by asserting that the group you are being criticized by is hypocritical because they do the same thing they are accusing you of doing.

There is no implication of hypocrisy here, nor could there be since the NHTSA doesn't make cars...

Instead this is a comment asking a legitimate question about the basis for the investigation given the overall rates of occurence for the incident in question. Other repliers attempted to answer this question, you decided to try to shut down discussion by mis-applying a rhetorical label.
What I find most interesting about your comment is the words "something most of us are familiar with", because it implies that consciousness is a two-way communication. It affects the physical world: If it didn't, then you wouldn't be typing those words. This is important if true, because it means you could absolutely scientifically prove its existence by measuring it.

I'm not taking any sides here, but just making a point.

Any word here on an alternative?
It is awful, the worst "search engine" which exists. I absolutely hate it and this is the only thing which wants to make me move away from Confluence. When you need it the most, and this happens often, you know that you definitely cannot rely on it. Any data you put in there is lost, unless you have a good hierarchy and know what to find where without relying on the search.

I really hope no one on this board follows this and starts eating only meat. Fruit and vegetables are extremely healthy for your body. Tons of fiber, nutrients, and keeps your immune system strong. This will be a decisive comment but if you think no one needs vegetables and should be eating only meat you have reached maximum levels of retardation and I recommend you not to poison the brains of other people. Sometimes it’s best to keep things to yourself
EVs typically have more range in city transit than on the highway.
Papers in journals disclose conflicts of interest. You can't just hand-wave bodies of research including systematic reviews as untrustworthy on the conceit that some of it is cherry-picked in mainstream media.
The problem with using certificates is any media signed by a party (by nature) traces directly back to that source/certificate. With a certificate-based approach I can imagine something like Shodan meets Google Image Search being used to make it easier to source media for the purposes of enhancing training for an ML model. Needless to say I have serious concerns about this approach.

This is why our approach only embeds a random unique identifier in the asset and requires a client to extract the media identifier to verify integrity, provenance, etc.

There are also two problems at play here - are we trying to verify this media as being as close to the source photons as possible, or are we trying to verify this is what the creator intended to be attributable to them and released for consumption? The reality is everyone from Kim Kardashian to the Associated Press performs some kind of post-sensor procession (anything from cropping, white balance, etc to HEAVY facetunning, who knows what).
Anecdotally this seems correct to me. A friend of mine has had several viral TikTok videos hit millions of views, and he's only been on TikTok for a little while. He did no outside promotion. I think the only way a new YouTube video would do that is if it was absolutely earth shattering in some regard.
I mean there are many ways to overwork oneself, and I suppose the fact that I often am just too mentally drained after work to do all the cooking anyways speaks to a similar malady.

I think we do see PP's point with poorer people with horrendous commutes, part time inconsistent jobs, etc. Lot's of anguish about "food deserts" of course, but I think there is a larger reckoning that we simply need to reduce work and commutes before dual income people at all levels can afford to cook real food.
> Either that cop is the world's luckiest guesser, or they had some reason to think he had a bunch of cash in his car.

Have you heard of parallel construction? Perhaps he and his wife had discussed the cash in private messages.

> Not sure why he couldn't just send the bank receipts he already showed the cop to the DEA or whatever.

If he did this (and he may have done) why do you think they would give him his money back?

That's fine in my "paying ProtonMail customer" view. Use VPN + Tor if you don't want your IP address be known. I use ProtonMail to reduce my exposure to Google tracking/possibility of business execution leaks they might use in their favor and keep alternatives alive.
This is pretty easily testable. If tourists have “a bullseye” on them, then surely we would expect a significant share of tourists have experienced CF—say 25%. So where is the evidence that a quarter of tourists to the US have said experience?
> like Linux distros, which can still run on 15 year old hardware just fine

First, let's remind that LineageOS does not run on 15 year old smartphones (and they drop support for a device when there is no upstream support from vendors on the same Android version).

One issue is that unlike x86/x86_64, there is no generalized abstraction platform (similar to BIOS/UEFI/ACPI description tables) that enables "one kernel to rule them all" i.e. you need some custom adjustments on your kernel for your SoC and board. Since a few years we have device-tree which improves a lot the situation, but I understand it does not cover everything (i.e. there would still be some missing aspects compared to UEFI/ACPI with regards to hardware description. Maybe some embedded experts can comment ?). Besides it is still not always implemented in chipset vendor's BSP which sometimes still rely on board files (where the data is not easy to extract from a binary kernel, noting that a lot of low-end OEMs do not properly comply with GPL and do not publish their sources)...
Smart? No. But people do stupid stuff wrt the police all the time-- consenting to searches, speaking without a lawyer, etc...

Just because it's dumb or even "bizarre," does not make him any less of a victim.
This is especially true because now instead of all your dependencies using jQuery, they are each implementing a small subset of jQuery on their own.

The problem you thought you solved was actually made exponentially worse when those dependencies dependencies also rewrote some jQuery using different native methods
The US was killing more central asians than China every year of the last 20 years straight. Hopefully no longer true going forward.

So, I guess it comes down to definitions and how you spin things. Personally, I'd say the country that killed more people was doing more bad stuff, but you can bracket things and explain why some 'count' more than others if you want.
wouldn’t egyptian hieroglyphs count as them from waay back ?
No, they didn't. They did calculations showing it was impossible, even with very generous assumptions of cross sections and physical processes (like cooling of the plasma by radiation). They would not have done the test if there was any chance that could have happened.
Don’t those binaries come with signatures you can verify? People in the community would notice if building from source produced different signatures than the binaries provided directly by torproject

I can't wait for Google to make their own knock-off, do it in 4 different ways, kill them all off, do it another 3 times at the same time, and then kill those off too.

In the meanwhile they'll have permanently degraded some part of their core service offerings chasing this, maybe putting 10 second videos in place of every street view shot in google maps, or making search favor short video content or some nonsense.
The US government is monitoring traffic at all major points including undersea cables. The US reasons are complex ranging from terrorism to cyberwar faire to unknown reasons.

One reason China does it to monitor and control their own people. Speaking out against China in the west will often put family in China at risk and any business interests. Monitoring journalist, tracking western movement, cyberwar faire, are all reasons.
For those criticising ProtonMail, what else could they have done? When the law for the country the company is based in says they must do a thing, they can't just say "no".

It's unfortunate that it happened, but the fact that this could happen shouldn't come as a surprise.
Thing is many companies post job ads that aren't actually available. It's a way to promote their supposed growth to clients, wanna be buyers. Quite often it is just regulatory as promoting internally requires them to open up the role to external candidates. Correct a good portion of CVs are never looked at.
Should the police ignore a store reporting a thief because the cost of the item is less than the investigation cost?
Same experience for me the last couple of weeks.
The thing about products that occupy the kind of niche that Jira does is, the people using the product are not the people making the purchasing decision. They rarely even talk to each other.

If you come to a venue like Hacker News, you'll mostly be getting opinions of the people who actually use the product. These opinions do not reflect the interests and priorities of the people who decide which product to buy.
Then you must have been fine with Trump trying to ban the app then?

Hard evidence for this claim? Is TikTok Inc, controlled by China?
Is this really what the government wastes its time and resources on?
The top comment in your referenced discussions confirms that the article was not fake.

They said "lesser technical people", not "less-technical people". A more technical person might not be able to read between the lines, but a better technical person should.
Not just demand passion, but demand anything other than work. Any sort of positive virtue is a side effect and must be earned.

Had a company recently tell me one of their principles was Loyalty, and to "remember loyalty when putting the ink on the paper".

This was their attempt at solving early-stage developer burnout. I didn't sign.
As a night owl, I abandoned the consistent bedtime approach and went with a pure consistent waketime. The approach that worked for me was having the same wake time, irrespective of time of year, light levels, or tiredness. There are some days when I'm a zombie because I messed up and stayed up too late, but I treat that as a negative reinforcement learning.

The second step was to immediately get out of bed. No matter how warm it was, or how tired I am, no matter how much my brain protested. I moved my alarm to the other side of the room to facilitate this.

What made it stick for me was giving myself permission to be sleepy after the alarm, but not be sleepy in my bed. Many days I stop my alarm, and immediately go to the couch and give my brain some time to boot up before even going to the bathroom or having breakfast

It might be worth saying I _only_ sleep in bed (no reading, no phone, only sleep) and I make sure to _never_ sleep on the couch
Veritasium did a video on this recently [1] where he talks about how YouTube saw falling engagement when only showing users their subscribed channels, so they started recommending more non-subscribed content a couple years ago (he talks about this around the 2-3 minute mark in the video).

Let’s be honest about it: the former president was trying to reward Larry Ellison for his support, that’s all it was and that’s why it didn’t happen.
> For those criticising ProtonMail, what else could they have done?

Moving to some Central African, or Central Asian nation, and full-handedly buying the government?
The depressing reality is that your average person on the street couldn't care less. I've tried bringing it up to friends and family in the least evangelical way I can, and the most common response is that they simply don't care about their privacy; to them the content on the platform is worth dealing with an app that's accused of malicious practices and "so what if some company in China gets my data, I'm not planning on going to China". Talking about things that are well known in the tech industry to people without that background has a nasty habit of making you look like a conspiracy theorist to Johnny Random.
Because reuse is far better than composting.

I think the issue is less intractable that it might sound. Food delivery could pick up last meal's dishes. Or offices could have dishwashers.

That trash is so cheap, and sources of trash so unregulated (because just raising the cost of trash leads to litter --- need to impose cost on the producer not consumer) got us in this rut. The inconvenience you speak of is more effect than cause.
