I've wondered about this since so much alfalfa and corn are specifically grown on arable land to feed cattle. What fraction of beef calories is derived from non-arable grazing lands?

There is also the extensive use of water to irrigate pasture in arid areas just to feed cattle. That water could be used more efficiently. to grow food directly.
"A significant proportion of the Earth's land surface is currently dedicated to either growing animals or growing animal feed."

It's important to note that almost all of the land that cattle are raised on is unsuitable for any other purpose. They aren't grazing cattle in Manhattan, it's in places like rural Australia or Texas where there is no infrastructure, no arable land, and no human population that is competing with the cattle population for resources.
Amazon banned me (for something completely unrelated to Kindle books), and I lost access to everything on Kindle as a result. It's a good thing I hadn't spent much money there, and obviously I'm not buying any ebooks going forward.
Agreed, miniaturization took a giant leap forward moving from valve's to transistors. Even in the 1980s Bell Labs said that in the future we will receive our telephone signals through the air and our TV signals through a wire. An accurate 30 year prediction.
> Three-finger-drag a window to the top of the screen and it's instantly maximized.

Sounds like a lot of work compared to any good tiling window manager. Windows should be automatically maximized on opening, unless there are others on the desktop, in which case just hitting a two finger key chord should do it without requiring contorting a wrist or moving an entire forearm away from the home row.
No matter how small %% it is, lab meat is not grazing at all
It's probably criminal to be this level-headed nowadays, kudos.
thats interesting, its been the exact opposite for me...

This is correct. Most would also say grain fed tastes far better than grass fed.
The old iTunes Media Library .xml format isn't too complicated - I wrote a few small tools to generate m3u8 playlists, and another to convert .m3u8 playlists into itunes library xml. Then I just import that straight into the music app.

Shouldn't take more than an afternoon of a reasonably proficient developer's time. I agree that it's not great that you should need to do this kind of thing, but it's less effort than switching to android ;)
Time machine isn't that great as a backup system and has issues. Carbon copy cloner is a better system to create snapshots to restore to as a local back up system IMO.

In hindsight we know that red scare was as bad as the thing they were fighting against

As the Cold War intensified, the frenzy over the perceived threat posed by Communists in the U.S. became known as the Red Scare. The United States government responded by creating the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC), which was charged with identifying Communist threats to the United States. HUAC often pressured witnesses to surrender names and other information that could lead to the apprehension of Communists and Communist sympathizers. Committee members branded witnesses as “red” if they refused to comply or hesitated in answering committee questions.

with the only exception that Americans could not flee from persecutions.
I can only speak for myself. I left a role a few months ago that I enjoyed and was good at because I felt it was career-limiting. I'm a data scientist by profession, but I wasn't actually doing any data science; I was more of a technical resource. I wrote Python and R packages for interacting with company resources, using cloud storage, handling fiscal dates, etc, and consulted on moving teams to Azure from our on-prem infrastructure. It was great, but it seemed that I was shedding the human capital that would further my career in data science in favor of being a quasi-engineer (higher paid but less skilled).

I dunno. I realized it was a mistake to leave soon after I did. The company I worked for had great benefits, great work-life balance, and -- importantly -- other opportunities I could have transitioned into if I wanted. And the pay potential is only a bit worse. So I ditched the new job and I start back at my former employer on Monday, funnily enough.

I guess all this is to say that there's not one answer to why people are leaving -- we all have our individual reasons. It isn't just about salary, as some comments here indicate, but it's not just about remote work either.
Exactly, it doesn't matter if the customer has a problem, they will fix it when it becomes a problem for them.

If you think there's trouble to be had when telling your professor that you disagree about what's canon for a mythos from 1000 years ago, you should not engage with believers on what's canon vs not about a story about a Jewish carpenter from, oh, about 2021 years ago. Definitely do NOT question if that story has somebody in charge.
This has also been my experience. Google One will get you to the right person to get things fixed. I had a billing issue that they were able to resolve in under 24 hours. But I could see the problem if your account gets banned that has the Google One on it... Would be hard to submit a request when you can't log in.
I do give you points for ingenuity there!
Hi all,

This was a fun project exploring the Raspberry Pi Zero W hardware, Go, modern JS APIs, and 3D Printing.

I wanted to be able to get highlights of activity from my birdfeeder, and eventually run an onboard image classifier [0] to figure out which one of my neighbors have not been cleaning up after their dog.

Compared to most other RPi motion detection projects, this runs more efficently by streaming H.264 video instead of MJPEG, and detection is based on motion vectors instead of image difference techniques.

After testing a few other projects in this space, I'd recommend taking a look at PiKrellCam [1] if you really need to pinch CPU cycles on a RPi. For reference PiKrellCam runs at least twice as fast as Sentry-Picam, and has even better motion detection.

Maybe Google's history department will make some money from their monopoly on the primary sources.
They seem to be making a comeback, at least on the mid-range: the Pixel 3a/4a/5a I think had headphone jacks as does the Gigaset GS4.
Here's the official page on the integration: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/datascience/jupyter-noteb...

Once the extensions are installed, just open an .ipynb file in VS Code.
Maybe for some context - although Jeff Geerling does provide it too in his video - most 'server' motherboards have build-in KVM.

I will make the bet that build-in KVM is more responsive and those interfaces are now HTML5 based, so no nasty Java applet stuff.

Motherboards / servers with KVM will consume around 8-10 watt extra, even when powered off, as the KVM solution is basically a tiny computer running Linux + proprietary software, soldered on the motherboard.

Motherboards with KVM support also support IPMI or redfish for remote management. For instance: I use IPMI to force a physical machine to PXE-boot into an automated installer, to provision the OS.

The restaurant industry certainly is not a market resembling perfect competition, I mean we can just look at the vastly varying prices between restaurants, which certainly can't be attributed to cost. Even if we talk about the food industry more generally, I mean there's like 3 or 4 different brands of milk in my supermarket which vary in price by 100% I hardly doubt that their cost varies by that much.
I saw comment in another one of these discussions saying you should treat google as a potentially hostile adversary and have a contingency plan for what to do when they turn on you.

I agree with this really in relation to every cloud provider. If your business continuity and data are important, there should be a plan for how to keep the lights on if a provider through malice or incompetence stops playing nice. The google specific problem is they are into so much stuff that its not just a question of not using them, you also have to consider what happens when your emails are flagged as spam our you're delisted from search, etc
Interesting. I've been very excited by and disappointed by pycharm's work on that front. I'll have to check out the VS code version. Thanks!
The common thread here is how Beijing is afraid from organized ethnic minority movements, religious movements and/or societies from the civil society that could have their own independent ideas.

They are not that different from other Leninist inspired governments. Cuba does that. Vietnam does that. The Soviet Union certainly did that.

These governments always lose their minds with the idea of people organizing themselves and the controlling party having no control whatsoever about these groups.

I have no idea how the People's Daily plays into that. Maybe the readership is so small and it attracts a certain type of personality that Zhongnanhai thinks it is a good idea to report on them.

I've read that the major clique in the CCP certainly wasn't happy about students calling themselves Maoists and supporting workers striking.

I don't know much about China to say about that nor if the People's Daily has many people reading it.
There's still an economic incentive for the highest level of FDA approval: Medicare and insurance companies have to cover it and doctors can prescribe it. That ensures a high and consistent level of usage across the whole country, not just among people with more money than sense (usually IMHO; it's possible that they're just smarter & savvier than the notoriously conservative FDA, who knows, this is a big reason why taking away choice is bad on principle).

I don't think the lack of credible evidence of efficacy in the supplement market is for lack of trying. If an alternative medicine is actually effective, it just becomes medicine that the majority of people can trust and use.

A server round trip is a cost. It's not a good idea or a bad idea.

I will pay the cost of a round trip if (a) it simplifies my life and (b) the cost is low enough. LiveView simplifies interactive app development (for me). Since I can run my Phoenix servers close to people, the round trip cost is usually very low.
Apple is still ok, just don't use iCloud.
Interesting when people suddenly create an account, just to post one article, which immediately gets pushed to FP. Is HN really so important for that?

It makes me wonder who pays which kind of organizations what amount for these kind of stunts.
To clarify: I suggested to store url in the password manager so that when I want to login somewhere, I go the the manager, locate the account, copy paste url stored there into url bar of the browser in a new tab, and then do the same with actual credentials. There is no room for any phishing in such case.

That said I understand that when a password manager is closely integrated with (or even within) a browser, it can do more checking for me, and make the whole experience nicer. But such integration is imho not a silver bullet, and there are downsides which comes with this approach as well.

Your post reminds me of the time people in China rioted because students were not allowed to cheat on their exams. There really is something cultural going on there.
Repairability has an extreme impact on lifetime, so if you're concerned about the latter, you should care about the former just as much.
> As a person who formerly worked on the technical side of anti-abuse (both content and account) at Google

oh well, did you “dogfooded” your own human-review system once flagged by your anti-abuse bots ? Of course not, and that’s why your system suck. If your are/were working at google, you are part of the problem, and if you want to do something about it, you should come down from your ivory tower.
Nitpick: there were plenty of deaths reported as adverse events. It was just found that they were mostly expected in a normal population.

I know in Germany we did have over 20 dead from AZ thrombosis.
I did a similar analysis the other day for an unrelated source, I found that somebody's "freedom index" had a lot of weight on "freedom to be an authoritarian" type things while neglecting a long list of personal freedoms.
> I feel that only confirms my point. The switch happened ten years ago, yet many people are still being mad at Apple today over it.

It disproves your point from multiple directions:

1. It demonstrates that Apple has no qualms about abandoning proprietary connectors and leaving an entire connector ecosystem stranded overnight.

2. It demonstrates that said connector ecosystem has no qualms about adapting to a new proprietary connector - let alone a standardized one.

And no, I know of precisely zero people upset about switching away from the iPod connector. The only thing about which anyone is upset about is the fact that Apple chose a different proprietary connector instead of using that opportunity to standardize.

> I think I’m failing to see your point. None of those vendors has any amount of control over the USB accessory ecosystem, or do they?

The bigger players absolutely do manufacture their own accessories, but that's secondary to my point: that the accessory market readily adapted to phone manufacturers switching connectors on its own. Apple, if anything, would have an easier time for the exact reason you indicate: Apple has control over the Apple accessory ecosystem, and can use that control to put additional pressure on accessory makers.

Not eating meat is easy to do and easy to signal. It has also been repeated so much that people don't question it.

Just like many ecologists are against nuclear power for political (and not environmental) reasons, there are also lots of vegetarians/vegans leveraging the ecologist movement to push their ideals.
Wow, ok, very interesting. It must be something about my particular environment (Also on Ubuntu) that it only affects google sites.
Billion dollar industry easily, but at what margins?
I like the demoscene and NFT analogies.

I think you're missing the point on the compromise. It's not simply about the price.

Look for ethnic restaurants whose primary clientele is their fellow countrymen. (Easy to find in a large city. Less so in the suburbs.) This is where you will find the intersection of low price and high quality product.

Mexican and Asian places abound in this category. But you can find just about anything in a large city - Middle Eastern, South American, even European (especially eastern)
OTOH, if that sort of data is not purged, it could be far richer than any letter. Many people pretty much use their phones/devices as extensions of their minds, and phones are a very personal, private place.

If you don't use it for anything interesting, you're sticking out even more. A void can be as revealing.

I don't need to know anything about you, because being willing to work for FB or thinking boys-will-be-boys justifies behaviour is all I need to know.
If you want to sell mobile apps that you cannot run from a browser, then choosing not to enter Apple's ecosystem will keep you from a very large user base.

It is a choice you make, but with significant business consequences.
This article reminds me of the fever over insect apocalypse.

Techy types love to imagine swarms of tiny drones taking up the job of pollinating our plants when the bees die off.

I can only imagine that anyone thinking like this has never kept bees or simply watched them in amazement as they do their job, entirely undirected and uncoordinated by us. The ultimate low tech solution, working reliably and consistently for millenia.

Lab-grown meat feels the same to me. Yes, it seems clear we shouldn't continue consuming pasture and methane intensive foods like beef.

But does that mean we try and replicate that product by hurling science at it - trying to do ourselves what nature already has worked out? At huge cost in $$ and in distraction while we take our eye off of the more important things?

I'd say as humans we would be better off getting a little pragmatic about this and a bit less arrogant about our ability to re-shape nature.

Instead of looking for artificial beef, how about just substituting chicken every second time we eat? That would move the needle enormously on environmental impact. And requires no new technology at all.

Same goes for elaborate carbon capture technologies. Why even bother when our planetary economy continues to incentivise people burning fossil fuels in unimaginable quantities?

It really depends on the app. I made about $35k last month with about $100 hosting expenses and maybe $500 paypal fees (which I've managed to reduce to a bare minimum by using TransferWise as much as possible). But it's taken over 20 years to get to that point (and my recurring revenue is a fair amount less than that...I had a large one-off source of revenue this month).

Having said that I've tried various other ventures over the years, but haven't managed to get anything else to make any traction at all. So I realise I'm actually very lucky (in addition to being persistent and building a product that works well).

The best advice I can give is to listen to what customers want.
Like what?

No one wanted tvs to spy on them via the internet connections, they just wanted connected tvs with built in streaming devices. Today for any privacy you have to buy your own streaming device and not connect your tv itself to the internet. In the very near future, most devices will come with a low power radio that can't be turned off (just like you basically can't turn off the ubiquitous spying from your streaming connected tv). This network aids that.
How odd, I find r/Europe mostly pretty wholesome and somehow generally with a unifying spirit which I don't find elsewhere, specially when a specific topic arises and many posts start showing up, dealing with that topic from the perspective of each country. And r/Germany often has very nice pictures making me wish to go on weekend trips, also sometimes interesting topics and topics helpful to foreigners. I don't really see any other racism than then normal one which you find in the non-internet media, like Greece/Italy hating on Germans and stuff like that, but in r/Europe somehow this is understood and dealt with as something which is a given and nobody sees a reason to expand on it, to turn it into a topic. It's somehow accepted like a cliche where fun of the stereotypization is made, sometimes with a bit of humor. I wonder how this is on Facebook.
I would say it started with the tea party protests. Everything about them was a protest looking for an excuse.

I personally find a rip of the book online to drop onto my reMarkable then purchase it through some ebook marketplace. Now I have a DRM-free copy and the author gets their cut.
I remember this story but can't find it anywhere. If I recall correctly they deployed a fix that decreased the payload size. However, in doing so they actually opened the door to users with slow connections that were unable to use it at all before. So measured latency actually went up instead of down.
I understand the value of distraction-free writing. But I think it must be much easier to acccomplish using a regular laptop and special software. Something you boot into and only allows creative writing. No distractions, just options to edit, save or power off. A special writer's OS.
Is there not anything like that?
No problem! I'm glad for constructive comments, it will help v3 to become better. I hope PiKVM will be useful to you.
Ah, see that's where I didn't understand you.

I did not make the assumption that my offline password manager should integrate with my web browser to provide phishing protection. That's not a bad idea! I'm not denying it's something password managers could solve. I just don't rely on it.
here, when you say 'labour', you are referring specifically to working for wages then? Cause I imagine many investors/owners who make money from profit or capital still need to work, or labor, quite a lot. It sounds like basically the working class are people with bosses that aren't a board of directors.
Okay... So former Arthurian publisher here. For folks who are semi-familiar with the canon of existing literature, what they found corresponds with the well-known "Story of Merlin" from the Lancelot-Vulgate Cycle. Like, we already have this story in print.

[Look up "Lancelot-Grail: 2. The Story of Merlin: The Old French Arthurian Vulgate and Post-Vulgate in Translation (Lancelot-Grail: The Old French Arthurian Vulgate and Post-Vulgate in Translation"] and get yourself a modern English translated paperback version of this "lost" Arthurian story.]

There is nothing particularly new or unique here apart from the fact that this is a new copy of what we already know.

The article points out that if anything, this is a slightly Bowdlerized version of the already-extant story that took out the spicy parts about how the Lady of the Lake cast a spell on her lady bits to prevent the horn-dog Merlin from getting at them.
I was wondering what the advantage is to building something like this, compared to just using a bluetooth adapter that connects via RCA cables (like this box does).

I suppose one advantage is that if you walk far away from your stereo, you can loose bluetooth connection and drop audio, where this device has it's own WiFi connection and pulls Spotify audio directly, and is just manually controlled via your phone.
