Well, if you can't understand, I guess you should hear some counterpoints.

1) Quite a lot of time, we will hear from the vegan/vegetarian community that humans were not designed to eat meat, we were only designed to eat in a vegan/vegetarian manner. This is done by selectively ignoring a lot of evidence. This pisses people off when it is caught.

2) We have some real-life study evidence that vegans/vegetarians live less long than people who have some meat. There's a sweet spot on the curve between deep-fried steaks every day and no meat ever. And yet the veggie crowd will over-simplify and say that their diet is the way to go if you want to live longer. Again, it's another case of manipulating the evidence and this also pisses people off when caught.

Basically, the whackadoo types are running (and ruining) public relations for this kind of thing and that isn't working out.

The positive effect a 2-week in-person visit to a remote office had on the collaboration over the next year or so astonished me.

Turns out humans are social animals, people with social bonds work together more effectively, and you don't build those via Zoom and Slack. And I'm not talking about "partying together every night, living at the office", just "being around each other and talking outside of the rigid confines of scheduled meetings".

No, scheduled socials aren't the same.
Gosh, I really miss TA. I never felt like another RTS matched TA for variability, even though I basically only ever played against one friend.
The goal is to disrupt the high-end art and Verblen goods money laundering scheme [1] and replace it with a digital (and thus more easily fungible and transferable and less trackable) one.

This system also made it impossible for me to ever log in again. It had been a few years since I used FB but some friends tagged me at an event, so I figured what the heck.

I was presented with a system I had never configured, which asked me to contact people I don't know to get them to vouch for me. At the same time my FB profile was blackholed, and my wife and long time actual friends can't even see that I exist anymore. Just some person that astroturfed my name with no content (I have a globally unique name).

So I no longer exist from FB perspective, which made both my decision to not use FB as well as never use any FB products like Occulus much easier.
Indeed, this was a very common argument by the regime apologists in South American military dictatorships.
Thanks for reading :-)
I am tangentially involved with horses--

We have a guy who is able to to open any stall he wants, and he opens the stalls of other horses that he likes. As evidenced by the fact that he would open his own stall and then let a certain set of horses out.

If that wasn't amazing enough... He got into a conflict with another horse (nipping at each other), and he stopped letting that guy out of his stall.

Livestock is... complicated. Horses collectively are unreasonably stupid. But some individuals are amazing. Before I came into contact with them, I thought they all were "Glassy eyed dinosaurs". It's a weird trick because you see people make declarative statements about them, up to and including they aren't able to recognize people. But, when you work with them its absolutely clear they have preferences. They prefer certain riders and certain activities.
I don’t think you’ve had the right vegan food. Some is disgusting, just like some meat-based foods are (fermented shark?). Some can be made really well. I’m not a vegan but I’ve noticed what’s missing in it a lot of them is umami - savoriness. That’s an easy fix: soy sauce, kombu, tomatoes (paste especially), certain mushrooms, even pure MSG. Things with a lot of glutamate go a long way to making most dishes better, non-vegan ones included.

There's plenty on craigslists, but beware the ones that are "mini" because they're starved while young. They can still be fine pets and healthy animals but they're not worth what a breeding mini can be.
If it takes 5 seconds but happens after 10 minutes, then thee time from completing the development to review done is 10 minutes, not 5 seconds.

That's the problem with review of trivial typo fixes. Obviously no org should have those reviews as somehow so mandatory that each individual developer can't override the policy such as by self-reviewing the change.

If I was in an org where a policy required me to bug the dev next to me in order to approve a typo fix, I'd quite frankly quit.
It's a good thing because it's a stupid law. People would praise any company that took advantage of this loophole. Though yes, other companies wouldn't get the headlines that Tesla gets for doing it.

microcontrollers such as microchip pic series are programmable and a hardware device is used to burn the chip with a program thus allowing one to generate a myriad of functions, example:

A 10k lease lets you drive upwards of 200 miles a week. That is doable if you have a short commute and / or never use it for day trips or vacations.

Live outside of a small bubble, and it adds up pretty quick... then again, leases aren't very popular around here.

Certainly an EV will have less maintenance, but even ICE cars have practically zero maintenance outside of the occasional 15 minutes at a quick lube oil change place before they hit 50k miles. Not having to fill the truck up with gas would be nice, if it could last a day logging in the forest on a single charge.
No.

A third-party paying to have a small poster ('Tile') that shows + links to their product is the very definition of an ad.
This is a naive take, I admit, but...how does Amazon co-opt the Rust Foundation without the Rust Foundation allowing Amazon to co-opt it?

Is Amazon hiring existing members of the Rust Foundation such that they weren't involved with Amazon but now are? e.g. paying these people to work on Rust but under Amazon's terms?

Isn't it then up to the Rust Foundation to declare this a conflict of interest, perhaps, and to sever ties with that member?

That said, Mozilla really did drop the ball by laying off all their staff on the Rust project and effectively defunding it. They might have well have created a power vacuum and Amazon beat Microsoft to the punch.

I broadly agree, but weekly seems like the effort outweighs the benefit.

My bet is he emails the auth team and gives as much info as he can about the device. Then they create auth rules as if a regular login had happened.

I also assume if he's on the internal network it might be easier to just manually allow auth attemps from a few internal IPs for a few seconds.
Two things, first have a standard to compare to. Second, use code linters and formatters to automatically enforce it.

On a sidenote, I'd be interested in reading an article exploring the inverse of this! How to -not- raise investment. Most people look at funding like "yeah well I mean that's just the thing you do" but it's not for all cases. Sometimes tossing gasoline on something is just enough to make it fizzle.

I'm looking forward to the pendulum swinging back around to 2022, bring on the slow-biz startups, the organic growth, gimme 2x and 3x, bootstrapped on shoestrings, companies run by people who created those companies.

I have this reflex every time I see something cool now where I can't enjoy new SaaS offerings because I'm always trying to imagine the ways in which this new cool thing can backfire and frustrate me once it takes funding or goes public. I don't think it's a problem in me, either, that model just sucks.
>Vegan food is not delicious.

As in, there exists no delicious food that doesn't contain animal products?

All of the cultures that have long food histories mostly not based around meat must be miserable? Nobody could possibly enjoy vegetable pad thai or chana masala? French fries?
> In Spain, a Foundation is a very strong legal entity scrutinized by the Ministry of Justice.

And US corporations are also "legal entities scrutinized by" the DOJ and the SEC.

Look how well that works. The fact that people can sue you if they have enough money does not really make this any more trustworthy than anything else.

It feels an awful lot like you are throwing around terms like a smokescreen and hoping people don't understand Spanish law well enough to confront you about it.
I tend to agree that there are some amazing early education opportunities out there. I've seen and been jealous of the education available to 3rd graders.

However, having seen kids give up on the independent study route and beg to go to a standard school, I think you are underestimating how daunting it is to start learning high school subjects as independent studies. Fundamentally, arguing with your peers in history class or being able to ask questions in chemistry is really valuable. A video is interesting, but once you get to the point where there is a part you don't understand, it's really hard to make progress.

A lot of the "challenge" level courses seem to talk about class presentations? Is this a remote school more than homeschool?

OK, but what time interval do you think should be used in selecting strategies? If it is one year, then I suggest a real-time experiment where once a month, the top N strategies over the last year are identified and traded for a month. It would be interesting to see how this did in real time.
>All those things should actually be under the purview of the government, rather than businesses.

you know the reason these things are payed for by bussiness right?

most social welfare programs are created after world war 2, because the alternative was the workers simply seizing the wealth of their former bosses by force.

OP seems to greatly understimate how close most countries in europe came to a mass revolt of civil war after world war 1 and world war 2. (1848 revolutions are also an important time in history for civil rights).

the dutch for instance, have a constitution thanks to the threat of revolution in 1848. The alternative was the threat of revolution and the violent end of the monarchy.

The same is basically true for labour rights. In most european countries these got implemented after world war 1 and during the great depression, a time in which a lot of people got destitute and had acces to weaponry.(World war 1 also left a massive social trauma in many nations, leading to revolutions because of its effects on society).
No. We respect our workers too much.

Just based on the technology side: When using their systems a big thing, seems to be repackage and rebuild existing systems and create a load of new jargon.
The systems seem to be islands, the effect is that at every place they are separated, billing can be introduced.
Everywhere, where new names and jargon are introduced lock-in is introduced.

It also helps spread knowledge around so more than one person has knowledge of a new feature, bug fix, or sub-system.

If you kill all the harvesters in C&C (and literally all of them), the AI stops producing entirely.

Its very difficult, because they have so much more Tiberium than you. But its possible and fully effective at shutting down the AI entirely.

You need to kill about... 6 or 7 harvesters... to get to that point. (For those who aren't experts at the game, each harvester costs roughly 2x the amount of a typical tank. So killing 6 to 7 harvesters is a really, really big deal).

If even just one harvester gets one collect back successfully, they'll give the AI something like 10,000 credits (vs the 700 credits you get from your own harvesters). So you need to perpetually dedicate yourself to killing literally all harvesters forever more, if you go down this route. Letting even one harvester escape breaks the strategy.
Year-round fireworks stands are another common one

It is, but in order to exploit the situation you have to get the tribal council on your side. So you can't set up a brothel on tribal lands because the tribe won't allow it.
I think you're absolutely right in that things used to be more volatile. The mid-19th to early 20th century US are great exemplars of this. But even though in the modern era (I'd say mid-'30s on to the early 10's) after the advent and refinement of mass media felt like an era of more reasoned dialogues on the balance, I really think it was a mirage that's only reinforced by our ability to look back at niche circles where it was actually the case in hindsight.

Mass media and educational institutions bounded our collective capacity for political thought through their selective exposition of certain ideas, meaning people in the era were less likely to have mutually unintelligible or incompatible beliefs about the ordering of society, and that they were similarly incapable of conceiving of such a political enemy (communists notwithstanding)

As a result, we never collectively developed the rhetorical tools or emotional capacity to consume or have reasoned discussions that tackled the fundamental aspects of our culture or its organization that conflicted with our preconceived notions, because we never truly had to.

Social media has given air to ideas that would have historically been suffocated in the cradle or domesticated long before we were ever exposed to them, and as a result I don't think it'd so much degraded our capacity for political dialogue inasmuch as it has how sheltered we've collectively been, and how much less refined and rational we actually were.
This is right, since no Christian private schools exist to provide this function.
This episode just came out last week, and this is the second time NSO has made news since it aired (along with Germany being a confirmed client.) Surprisingly apropos, but I imagine Jack's disappointed the big news makes it just after his episode's release on the subject.
We've tried many times to make in labs and factories foods that are "better" than what Nature provides

Wild nature doesn't provide very much that is edible by humans, and certainly not enough to sustain a civilization of humans rather than small bands of roving nomads.

Nature doesn't care about us, it won't help us, if left to its own devices it would eventually wipe humanity out entirely. We're well, well past the point where we can rely on nature to care for itself or for us. If we don't all take the initiative to intervene and engineer nature for its and our benefit, then only those with hubris will do so.

Regarding the hubris of believing that a lab-grown steak could be better than the real thing, physics doesn't change just because it's inside of an animal, so there's no reason to think that we won't eventually be able to engineer muscle tissues that are indistinguishable from real grass-fed beef, given the time and money to do so.

> Teachers tend to be paid less than an assistant manager at a Walmart. And require a master's degree.

Teachers on average make 62k nationally, get 2 months off a year, usually have great health care, pension, and have phenomenal job security.

And I know plenty of teachers without master degrees.
>I just ask them what their opinion is, which is usually what they want to happen anyway.

I might steal that. I usually just say I don't know and let them explain what is going on, but yours is much smarter.

> The great irony here is that we - technical people - have done this to ourselves. We opt out of telemetry (as we should IMO) as a default so out usage patterns never get sent to the mothership. So of course Windows gets dumbed down, options disappear, and the OS gets targeted at the normal folk.

There's no irony here. Even if every single technically apt user sent their feedback to Microsoft at once, it would still be drowned out by the 99% of the general population that clicks through everything without reading or adjusting.

It's not even close, and we shouldn't be giving MS the benefit of the doubt anymore, considering what they've done to Windows in the last 10 years. They did it deliberately, while hiding behind "improving user experience" and "security".
I guess there is that position, "at Amazon", and writing that was a bit of a tell about how they see ownership already.
Is it?

Is not industrial agriculture generally (and more generally, greed) the actual problem?

I do not think that intensive crop growing is better than pastoral farming of animals for meat. The former is catastrophic to the local environment the latter is all around me and causes very few problems.

And WebSockets and WebRTC and form submissions and so on. It'd be a whole policy for many things like gp suggests not just blocking one function.

Of course that being said the policy would basically have to be "disable network" at a trigger point not just uploads as you can just as easily leak large amounts of data via triggering GETs by making img placeholders come into view or other equally tricky things that can't be distinguished from "app is just still loading".

There's too much money in Rust, and many power brokers at play here from Google, Amazon, MS, et al. People are incentivized by money and career growth to lead Rust's future. I think core members should be the one leading the foundation, but there are a few reasons this hasn't happened:

1. Core members are burnt out.

2. This is not their primary skill set (administration vs engineering/community building).

Other languages have been blessed with an administrative group (GvR/Python[0], Hickey/Clojure), corporate sponsor (Pike/Go), or committee (C++, Java). The counterpart for Rust is core member/Mozilla, but there is no appetite for this responsibility.

FWIW, it also runs out-of-the-box in QEMU, VMWare and Virtualbox.
Many of these problems (some of which I didn't even know about because I avoid using enums) go away when you use union types instead. The implicit casting is one example, the display-name retrieval is another (assuming you use string literals for variants)

Some of them can worked around by structuring your code in certain ways (for example you could make sure every variant is covered by indexing into an object with `key in MyEnum`, or by returning from each switch case and requiring a particular return type)

But even setting those aside, I got burned so badly the last time I used Flow that I'm not sure anything could convince me to return to it
