> If not enough people get vaccinated, transmission won’t be stopped.

The comment above yours literally just explained that the vaccine does not stop transmission of the virus! You're repeating catchphrases from 12 months ago when the government was insisting the vaccine stopped the spread of the virus; when they knew perfectly well that wasn't true!
> Compared to, say, global shipping, meat itself is a drop in the bucket.

According to this, livestock & manure are 5.8% of the total, while shipping is 1.7% of the total: https://ourworldindata.org/emissions-by-sector

IIRC the actual level of change we need to achieve long-term stability is something like 99%-99.9% reduction (depending on the gas, CH4 != CO2). If so, we’d have to eliminate about half of shipping emissions even if we eliminated 100% of the emissions in every other sector, but that’s even worse for your argument as it also means we have to eliminate 5/6ths of all livestock & manure emissions if we eliminated 100% of everything else.
Not sure how much you eat of it. But generally processed foods are not that good for you. I know they add and additive to make it taste like it has serum from blood. I remember there being media reports and controversy over the safety of it. I tried making a meatless burger, and found adding almond flower goes a long way to make it taste great.

>I’m very curious if we’ll start seeing a move off of windows for gaming rigs with this

Not even in the slightest. Linux marketshare is still insignificant to even Chromebooks. This is just the echo chamber that is HN that thinks Linux is bigger than it is. Remove all CS majors in the world and I'd wager the amount of people who've touched Linux is less than .01%

Edit: I love how HN downvotes because someone gives them a reality check on their beloved Linux. I will give $1000 to anyone who is willing to give their parent who doesn't know jack about computers Linux and tell them "figure it out." None of them will be able to do it.
> The US cares greatly about the NPT because it wants a world in which only a small number of countries have nuclear weapons, not a world in which dozens of them do.

The treaty doesn't ensure that in any way. It's an empty letter.

> NPT limits nuclear weapons to 5 countries only - China, France, Russia, UK, US. Four nuclear states refuse to give up their weapons as the treaty demands (and hence refuse to join it) - India, Israel, North Korea, Pakistan.

Exactly. The NPT does fuck-all against this, and it's going to be of equally fuck-all use against the next bunch of countries that really want to get nukes. (Also, BTW, fuck knows if your four shouldn't be a five: how certain are you, really, that South Africa doesn't have them?)

> But a world with 9 nuclear weapons states is preferable to one with 90

Maybe. (Yeah: I'm not even all that sure about that, any more.) But that has fuck-all to do with the NPT, since that is of absolutely no use in ensuring the former in stead of the latter.

> When it comes to Zoom, I'd say the problem is having to use that crap and not the fact that they barely support Linux. MS Teams also won't work on Linux, but it's hard to claim it's an issue on Linux's side. I'd suggest looking at something like Jitsi, which is also encrypted and takes security into consideration.

Jitsi is not as good as Zoom. Zoom seamlessly integrates with multiple monitors, and it provides a variety of tooling to rearrange your view of people and shared desktops. Just as an example last week I was helping two coworkers troubleshoot something, and I was able to have both of them share their desktops simultaneously. I had one on one monitor and one on the other. It was painless and instant. Maybe Jitsi supports such a thing somehow but it would have taken a minute or two to find the right buttons to press.

Also Zoom is encrypted. It has always been encrypted. Zoom lied about having E2E encryption and also weirdly had a lower-grade AES. Zoom is weird because while I 100% mistrust their motives in using weaker encryption, there are some legitimate tradeoffs between reliability and encryption - and it's actually pretty unlikely that they could implement E2E encryption without compromising video quality.

And ultimately especially with the pandemic and only being able to see people via video, even the smallest problems are potentially quite massive. I've used Jitsi a bit, and I don't think it's an exaggeration to say that it would mean that I would have spent at least an extra hour a week during the pandemic troubleshooting video when I was trying to have a nice visit with friends or family. I'm not going to be an ideologue when I lose that kind of time.
The kind of code you talk about are usually internal only. People don't write libs, framework or main stream language in those situation.

In that case, then it's ok to bite the bullet, to avoid the worst case scenario. But you are already in a bad place to start with. Because if you put in prod some code by somebody who can't write english properly, then it means your team doesn't have access to most information resources in the world.

So your problem here is damage control, hardly a situation to generalize from.

If I understand correctly, the "spread" of a rainbow is due to the higher frequency light refracting at a different angle than the lower frequency light. So wouldn't this be determined first by the frequencies of light (is there IR/UV light to refract?) entering the refractive medium (ie. atmospheric water or maybe a prism) and second by the absorptive / refractive properties of the medium (some materials are opaque in some light bands but not others) with regard to different frequencies of light?

Modern dietary science is quite different from it’s starting point. We know enough for soldiers, inmates, etc to eat exactly the food provided and be healthy. That’s the basic benchmark for success.

Many birds are quite tasty, chicken however wasn’t part of our evolutionary environment. It also breaks down in the wider context, evolution would be adjusting things based on the overall diet and lifestyle of our ancestors which based on available evidence was quite different from our own.
It's really amazing how well you can play on Linux now that Proton came out. There's only a handful of games that I need to boot into Windows for. On Linux most games work just as well as in Windows. ~10 years ago playing on Wine was a pain.

Good of you for mentioning Herschel. The contrast between him and Newton is stark.

Newton was considered a genius, but Herschel was considered to have average intelligence at best. However Herschel's curiosity is as legendary as Newton's indignation is legendary. Herschel made many discoveries, infrared and ultraviolet light among them, just by being curious and testing and trying new things. Such as measuring the temperature of the colors of the rainbow, and even the areas off to the sides.
While I haven't tried all of these, I can only agree on 3, 4 and 6.

While at a previous job, and being responsible for onboard new co-workers, having easy tasks ready at day one help create a sense of purpose and being part of the team.

We would alway try have a new co-worker deploy something to production on day one. Ideally something they could point to on the website a say "I did that". Combined with your point 6, letting them know that they did something that mattered created a sense of being part of the company on day one.
> This was the basis of Arthur C. Clarke’s 2001: A Space Odyssey, which may be the most scientifically accurate depiction of an encounter with an extraterrestrial intelligence.

We, conceptually and practically, _already_ have a way to collect extra taxes from people with higher income — it’s called tax brackets. Adjusting the brackets a bit to collect that extra $7k (or more) from people who earn a few hundred K per year is straightforward, and it more easily preserves the nice property of having net taxes paid (tax minus subsidies) being convex as a function of income.

I realize that health care in particular is a horrible mess due to most higher income people getting insurance through employer group policies. That, in and of itself, is a problem, and fixing would have the added benefit of removing a large disincentive to changing jobs or leaving a bad job.

I looked up a comparison.[1] It seems that the only potential issue with an impossible burger is much more sodium. On the other hand, it actually contains fiber(3 grams).

This comes out mostly with my boss who is famous for wanting "plans" but will trash the first N versions delivered for any number of unpredictable reasons, while questioning your competence for having provided something so bad. Often he often casually admits to having completely changed directions in between plan iterations. Never comes to a conclusion. Eventually devs just write up some tickets to work on the obvious & urgent work and get to it.

> there is no conventional war with a nuclear power.

True. But maybe there can be a purely conventional war between two nuclear powers.
A lot of ills are laid at social media's door, but I think this is a warranted one. Journalists were/are the beating heart of Twitter's userbase, giving it outsize influence through years of a minuscule userbase (eg there was a non-trivial period where there were more active in-stream users of Google+ than Twitter).

There have always been media personalities, but Twitter has made that the default mode of the industry, and removed editorial safeguards from a dramatic amount of the journalistic conversation.

Less interestingly but probably more saliently, the economics destruction that the internet wrought on journalism has just destroyed the economic buffer that allowed them to build a culture of standards and principles (such as it was). People have always liked being affirmed over being informed, and the journalism market now forces journalists to deliver that.
> but what happens when that draft is written on a software program that becomes obsolete?

I hate this language, it's so incredibly deceiving. Flash was a 'proprietary standard' fully controlled by a profit-seeking entity; meaning support for it can be arbitrarily revoked at any time (which of course it was).

I mean, can we really even call it a 'standard' if it's specs are black box and anti-interoperability?

These big firms are just messing us around and playing tricks on us using language - there is no such thing as a 'proprietary standard'. Parasites, please will you consider using another name like 'proprietary straightjacket'? 'Proprietary standards' are anti-commons.

Two cool topics to wikipedia/google for are achromatic lens and achromatic tech in general and chromatic aberration.

Turns out to be VERY difficult to manufacture optics that focus correctly even across that one octave.

I just think its technologically interesting how camera lenses balance dispersion using multiple types of glass with different properties.

There's a resolution issue where eyes and optics run near enough optical law limits such that twice the wavelength is half the resolutions so in theory an ideal camera or eye could run twice the resolution at blue color as red. So deep enough IR you get into snake territory where deep IR "vision" would be like one analog pixel in resolution for a reasonable sized eye.

There's a book "Exploring Ultraviolet Photography" about hacking DSLR cameras into UV cams, not to rain on their parade but it seems there's not much "cool" to see out there in nature that radiates in UV except flowers to attract bees. Anyway that's probably why there's not much evolutionary pressure to see UV; "flowers glow a little brighter and more obvious" MIGHT help gather fruiting plants a little better, but apparently not enough to make evolutionary pressure. Its still a cool book from a technological perspective.

AFAIK the "problem" with very near IR photography is some dyes and cloths become semi-transparent in very near IR so it turns into creepshot women territory so the community ecosystem is a bit off. From a mother nature evolutionary standpoint I don't recall ever reading anything interesting about near IR forest pictures or whatever. So there's nothing to see until humans invented clothes and dyes and near IR cams to translucently see thru them.
We are talking about things we re using or want to use. And the usage of cloud is not going to go down anytime soon.

For example, I think AWS spend is likely the biggest spend in my company after the payroll/offices, so it is pretty important topic, business-wise.

And unlike JS frameworks which only matter to a subset of JS frontend developers, everyone can use cloud: JS or Java or Rust or C++ or C; frontent, backend, data science, ML, compilers, embedded.

Well, it did drop to 3.9 stars.

Initially, Google Play reviews got filled with 1 star reviews from users complaining that a lot of their workflows were broken, things that they liked were removed, extensions not working (unless you used the initial nine excluded extensions).

The rating dropped from 4.7 to 3.9 in less than a month. After that, some one star reviews were removed (maybe google thought it was review bombing or Mozilla used some kind of third party service for that). Ratings started to go up a bit after that.

And suddenly a lot of 5 stars reviews with little to no content (thumbs up emojis, Nice/Great/Good, or just dots) started to appear and the rating almost returned to the previous normal.

Nowadays is just a mix of good and bad reviews, most of them quite lengthy.

>The 100 dollar premium for windows takes a big bite out of a 1000 dollar gaming rig.

I wonder how many people actually pay for Windows, since you don't have to activate it in order to use.
StratusBen, this is where you could charge an incredible premium for your service.

If you could underwrite price guarantees and show an insurance company or lender that your figures are right in most cases and that you've never lost over a certain amount, you could really hike the cost of your service and provide an incredible utility across the board.

If you have spare bandwidth and can reliably do this, try building this.
Sad to say, but Linux just isn't a good experience for gaming yet. Even if games work, there's usually caveats (like needing to be run through some sort of emulation) and they almost always run faster and in a more stable manner than Windows.

Most people I know are more than happy to pay that premium compared to the hassle of dealing with Linux. Also, a lot of those savvy enough to use Linux will just crack Windows or get a key at a discount through a reseller.

Isn’t there also a concern about these genes escaping by cross pollination into wild plants?
I’d argue that it’s having to do with standards bodies too. The time it takes for many to agree on standardized APIs for mobile. Apple and Google can simply say: “this is our native API” and people will use it quickly and effectively. Also there’s incentive for Apple to keep people on their platform and standards are tangential.

Also, desktop browsers have been around for over 30 years, and hence the click, double click, scroll, and basic key shortcut metaphors have as well.
